Variants of DNMT3A cause transcript-specific DNA methylation changes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The de novo DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) plays a pivotal role in hematopoietic differentiation. In this study, we followed the hypothesis that alternative splicing of DNMT3A has characteristic epigenetic and functional sequels. Various transcripts of DNMT3A were either knocked down or overexpressed in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells resulting in complementary and transcript-specific DNA methylation (DNAm) and gene expression changes. Our results demonstrate that different splice variants of DNMT3A have distinct epigenetic and functional sequels.
